Found it on ebay, Arjay looked it over. Its alittle ruff but all original except for new caps and tubes. It sounds great. I,ll be takin it to my amp tech this week for a clean up and tune up. I love Super Reverbs.

Enjoy it! These are great amps. A unique tone to themselves. Quite Bluesy.

Excellent! Another SR aficionado.

I just finished up about an hour playing through it and I see no reason for any other amp. The reverb is so nice. It has such a warm tone. I love it

TBZ...+1K...This amp might have one of the best reverbs ever put on an amp...IMHO. The reverb on these will go from just a touch to a full blown dripping wet Dick Dale surf tone!

+100000000

Congrats on one of the best sounding amps out there! If only it came in a smaller package :) if it wasn't for the size and weight I'd play it everywhere!

Here's what my 73 sounds like, straight into the amp, volume around 6

Muy Sabroso! Love that Strat, too. Really defines the SR tone potential. Very cool phrasing. I like that kinda Blues better than some "shredder" types. Good playing = good emotional touch. Very clean. I like my Keeley modded TS-8 though this amp, for a touch of OD at lower volumes. Muddy the tone, a bit...

Ever play slide with that amp? Crazy-@ss tone to die for.

BTW... what kinda mixing software are you using? I'm thinking of upgrading from my ancient Cool Edit Pro (Audio Audition 3).

Thanks! Keep the YT clips a comin' :mrgreen:

Thanks Beemer! I never got into slide... but I know a guy who goes by Derek that sounds amazing playing slide thru a SR :)

I use the free version of Cubase that came with the Presonus Inspire, easy to use and does the job.
